Black Song Video (MV)

The black song, some people may think that that's wrong
But they don't know about the wall that our backs on
Wax off wax on
White sheets from black guns, lost so many of our black sons that died up
Under that black sun cuz they'll kill you dead for a cap gun
But we do it to ourselves tho, get into it with 12 so
We don't give a damn about ourselves,take a chill pill spark a L
Whatever your vice is,because ya life is priceless, you only get one,i mean you only live once
That's a saying that was out, we use to say it at the house
Cuz that's real life and that's factual put the guns down is what we got to do
Try to have a grown man attitude and that'll keep us straight like a latitude
Show each other a lil gratitude and that'll help us up like a ladder do
Theres a war going on outside, the tougher the road then the more I ride
Use the force that's inside of me just to hide all the grief when I see it then the more I cry
For my people im passionate, got a feeling that a lot of people laugh at us
Try to spread love cuz that's whats up but whats the benefit of going round
Acting tough when you aint bad enough to
Stand tall on ya own 2 put the guns down throw ya fists when its time to
When you trynna be seen itll blind you, even when you try to hide itll find you
Yea im speaking bout Karma, we thought it be different
Since we got Obama but im here here to tell you
That we is the problem so we gotta solve it
Plus I aint trynna see tears from my mama
Another black man down by the hands of the law
Even worse by the hands of our brother
Lil kids dying young in the street left and right never even get a chance to discover
The true meaning in life that they living is gone
Somebody please tell me im wrong but aren't we helping the white man
With the fighting when we constantly killing our own
Where the kings and the queens at, never mind where the dope and the fiends at
Tell me this, where ya hopes where ya dreams at
Man we gotta do better and I mean that
We gotta stand together no matter whoever whatever wanna come
Against my melanin people we never gonna give up so get up
And live up to the dreams of what it means to be a king or queen what the f*ck
Niggas feeling stuck, people feeling down on they luck
Trapped looking for a way to get a buck, double that with the fact you living in a rut
Laying on ya back aint the only way you getting f*cked
Tell me who you trust, especially when the government
Showing mo love to the other man than the brother man
Pull us down bounce back like a rubber band
Im just trynna keep it all together like a mother can
Born without a father to be apart of, a make it harder
But larger the picture gets when you get a daughter or son
Because I got some, so I gotta show em that its all about them
Be a role model spend time have fun
Teach em that the pressure from the streets is gonna come
But never let it get ya where you gotta get a gun
Go to jail live life die young choose one
We gotta start building the youth up, without them aint no hope for the future
Its more to life than a benz and a new truck, knowledge of self worth more than a few bucks
And I can give 2 f*cks bout the Jones and keeping up wit em
I support my black people and I be in love wit em
Got a long way to go but I keep my trust in em
Never giving up the fight because for me I love winning
Shout out to the fam of Tre, Eric n Mike, Freddy Grey, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice
So many countless others that caught an earlier flight to that party in the sky but God it wasn't right
So take away the pain, take away the pressure and the madness of the brain
Take away the shit that make my people go insane
The oppression only changed to a slave mentality lets break away the chains, break away
Whos gone hear us when our voices screaming out
I pray that bad times wont last long cuz im still singing this sad song
Till we understand that the black man to the black fam is the backbone, Black Song
